It's NYJC Open House! Went back with Yan Rui (alamak, act 帅 huh...). The juniors were very convinced that we are students who just got our o'level results... Keep giving us flyers and asking us to register at the entrance for lucky draw. I was really tempted to do so, but need to put IC number, which means will 穿帮 this way, so we decided to just 混进去...

I was surprised (and ecstatic) to see that the Guitar Ensemble is still surviving! They played quite well! But I think it's really time to update the repertoire... They are still playing what I taught Guitar Ensemble 3 years ago, namely 情非得以 and 关怀方式 (and it was already quite outdated then)! Wanted to go talk to them, but thought it to be quite weird since none of them had even seen me before...

So anyways, bumped into 张老师 and 庄老师 when Yan Rui and I went to the canteen to grab a bite... When I walked over to greet them, 庄老师 gave me a really cheeky smile and asked "大学同学啊？" (referring to Yan Rui). Then I said no, he's from NY... And he said "大两届的？" xD before that, when I greeted Ms. Hew at the art room, she asked me whether Yan Rui is my brother! So he apparently looks older than me loe. Yay! =P ohh then at the end of the convocation with the teachers, 庄老师 said "好啦，你们去甜蜜啦。去去去" Hahahaha!

Rushed off to SMU for lessons at about 11.30am... Yan Rui waited for me in school, from 12noon-6.45pm =) then we had dinner at the chicken rice stall beside Selegie beancurd, recommended by my mum. Quite nice! The Thai style tofu is quite good too... Then we walked to City Hall to look for my printer toner... And as expected, they do not have it... Haha... Funan IT Mall was closing then... So we strolled to Esplanade...

And I was captivated by the night scenery there... Very beautiful...

Thanks for the day... And the night =P

6th-8th January 2010

Here Chin Win kor and Minfei jie are, eating gelato with me in Vivo City (pic taken by mummy)...

To send me off to cruise with Shangyi and Yihui afterwards!

So exciting! My first time on cruise! =) we each have our own card, which functions as a room key and also pay card (they will account all expenditure in the cruise to the card, and we will pay the bill all at once on the last day of cruise).

The room is very spacious! It's just like a hotel room... Quite comfortable! I thought we'd be packed like sardines... There was even TV, with very good channels! We watched quite a few good shows while slacking in the room =P

Scandalous! There were 4 beds for 3 of us, still want to squeeze together? Haha! =P

Yes, we were shocked when we saw the amount of food they served us. We couldn't finish them! Haha... We shared table with another family of 4, but their portion looked as big as ours... I so wanted to ask if they want more, but they couldn't finish too. Haha... There are 3 restaurants on the cruise that offers free food (part of the package la), of which this restaurant and the western restaurant serves ala carte, and the 3rd one is buffet style. Expectedly, the food is not very nice (though it's still sufferable for 3 days), but it's alright, cos' u can pay to eat at other restaurants. I didn't try, but I guess their food should be better? Cos' I saw quite a few tourists eating at the other restaurants.

On the 2nd day, we disembarked at Port Klang. Wanted to tour Malacca too, but the tour was fully booked, and we couldn't disembark without booking tour there. We managed to book the tour (essentially just a bus ride to the destination) to disembark at KL.

The bus ride was SUPER bumpy... Shangyi and I literally "flew" off the seat... But we managed to land safely back. It was like roller coaster. Luckily my stomach could take it... In fact, it was quite fun bouncing around in the bus =P anyways, this is the mall that we were sent to. Very very big mall, that's why it's called MEGAmall. Haha! But we didn't get to buy much, cos' the shops are the same as those in Singapore anyways, with the price doubled, just that it's RM instead of S$ in front of the number.

Took the bus back in the evening... There was very nice sunset, but I didn't manage to capture it. The ride back to the cruise terminal was less bumpy... Perhaps we were already mentally prepared, so our butts stuck to the seats more firmly. Haha!

Back on the cruise, we decided to explore the ship after dinner. Finally went up to the top floor, level 13, the sun deck. It was super windy... And hence our look. Haha! It felt really great SCREAMING at the top of our voices into the darkness at sea =)

Next morning, which was the last day on board, we went back up to the sun deck. Fantastic chill out place... Helicopter landing! This pic is taken with my big bro's sony camera, with the sweep panorama function. I totally love this function!

We were surprised to be greeted by an ensemble upon alighting! Such cheerful spirits... Cruise's fun! Extremely relaxing... I will certainly go again! To somewhere further next time =D

9th January 2010

See you again... Soon!! Have fun with ur bro and sis-in-law =)

After sending Shangyi off, Yan Rui came. He had came to send her off, but he waited at a wrong place. So... Haha. Never mind, next time bah. Haha... So anyways, Yan Rui and I walked around a bit in the airport, then drove to Ikea... He had never been to Ikea before! So here we are! I introduced him to the nice food there... Was so tempted to buy furniture, but there's no space in my room liao. Haha...

每次在机场向你挥别，虽很不舍得，却总会微笑着... 因为你每次回去，都是一个崭新的开始...... 微笑，是对你的祝福。希望这一趟回去，生活会更顺利哦... =) 再见啦，好好保重！我期待着你回来的那一天... 加油~~

Very eventful day... Literally. I attended 2 big events signifying 2 important stages of life...

In the afternoon was Shangyi's brother's engagement party. Congratulations... to Shangyi! Haha... U looked happier and more enthusiastic than the couple =P I didn't take any photos cos' my DSLR refused to come out of its camera bag after seeing the much better camera that Shangyi's future sis-in-law's father (wow what a mouthful) uses. Haha!

Then in the evening...

*whistles* 这美女是谁?!

It was Diana's 21st birthday party! Celebration in advance. Her actual birthday is on 5th Jan.

Menghow and Xiaoyu were the emcees for the night, speaking English and Chinese respectively. Good job! ;)

Yummy food at Marriott Hotel... I drank two bowls of mushroom soup, cos' it was really tasty. There was a wide range, from roast duck to aglio olio, sushi to apple crumble. Now look at this pic also feel like drooling liao. Haha!

People from our class who went.

Exciting games... The first was Bingo, which I did not know how to play and did not win either... I nearly had NO numbers to strike off! Haha... Luckily there was a second round, then I tio few... But still, not enough to win =P this game requires guests from each table to gather a list of items and rush up the stage to pass to the emcees. The number of people sitting at my table were very few, so we didn't manage to win any rounds for this game. Haha! It's ok though, I enjoyed the excitement...

I sat at table 4 with Diana and some of her friends (as shown above =P) from Nanyang Girls' High. Although Diana was mostly not at the table, her friends entertained me well and I didn't feel awkward sitting with a whole table of new faces... I even made more friends =D

Diana's sister sang for her on stage, and both of them 感动落泪...

Before the party ended, there was even lucky draw!

Hey Diana, thanks for inviting me! Hope the pics I took are not too bad... I'll blame my DSLR for any photos that aren't nice. Oops =P haha! Maybe I should ask my papa to buy me a better one for my 21st birthday... Dream on xD heehee... Alright anyways, Happy 21st Birthday! =)

Last night was talking to Shangyi on MSN, asking her what does she have on after her cousin's wedding lunch at Sentosa. Initially I wanted to go join her, but suddenly realised godbro's concert is that night, so wanted to ask if she wants to go to my godbro's concert with me instead (Aunty Doreen was supposed to go, but she last minute busy, so ask me to look for a friend to go with me). Then she told me she going concert with her mum. After asking, we realised that we were going to the same place. Haha!

So here we are, Dominic, Me and Shangyi, at Singapore Conference Hall, together with my mum, godma and her friend, supporting Jeremy. Gosh his CCA is super cool! 节令鼓... All the guys look so handsome and man (though they are just sec school kids... Maybe it's the dim lighting). Lolx. I was awed by their performance. Their stunts were so uniformed and the sound of the drum so majestic =D

It was a combined concert with Chung Cheng branch's Chinese Orchestra (which got a Gold with Honours for SYF), but after watching his CCA perform, the three of us were just not interested in the CO performance anymore. I realised I can't really appreciate CO music, cos' it all seem to be 千篇一律。I prefer the chinese instruments being played solo...

So anyways, after the concert, we went to Lau Pa Sat for supper. They closed one road to set up satay stalls... First time eating in this environment in Singapore... Cooling night, nice smell wafting in the air... I like the ambience ;)
